The nexplanon is a small flexible rod (only 4 centimeters long) that is inserted into your bicep by your health care provider. This rod is unnoticeable and lasts for three years. This means no more remembering to have to take the pill. The nexplanon is the most effective method, being 99.9% effective. The nexplanon works by continuously releasing progestin, one of the hormones found in the birth control pill, into your body over the period of three years. This keeps the egg from being released from the ovaries and prevents the sperm from meeting the egg. The nexplanon is effective 7 days after insertion.
Overall, the nexplanon is an easy and effective method of birth control and is highly recommended, especially for people who like to travel, and those who are forgetful about things like taking a pill everyday at the same time. This method is definitely the way to go for college students.
